  • Title: Centration and coverage of hydrogel contact lenses.
    Author: Wake E, Tienda JB, Uyekawa PM, Mandell RB.
    Journal: Am J Optom Physiol Opt; 1981 Apr; 58(4):302-8. PubMed ID: 7282855.
    Abstract:
    Decentration of the AOsoft lenses and Bausch & Lomb Soflens occurs during wear. The extent of the decentration of 14 lenses on 36 eyes of 18 subjects was studied by means of a biomicroscope with a reticle mounted in the ocular. Unexpectedly, for the AOsoft vault IV lens greater decentration occurred than for flatter lenses. Corneal toricity showed no correlation with lens decentration.
